Orbital Gas strike

[Metal]

Has anyone killed any bugs with it? Bugs over here are taking hoots like they be passing a bong around.
Super Earth claims termicide is safe for humans, hence the defense towers so the orbital gas can't be termicide gas because it is extremely lethal for Helldivers.

the termicide gas will mutiate some bugs into flying bugs and all the planets that we are deploying the termid gas on will need to be shut down.

another event u could say..... also just use any kind of emp then use gas

[Vespertellino]

Throw it at a choke point, it does pretty well
You can also drop it stealthily, so bugs won't run at you and die to the gas

I think much like airstrike which is for sure good, people are avoid it because of debuffs as much as "is this any good?"

Every time I think about giving gas another chance, oops it is an orbital scatter mission ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ nevermind back to eagles and orbital rails.

Quite a lot. Drop it right on top of a Bug Breach, it will kill most smaller enemies as they spawn in. Or put them infront of a horde so they have to travel through the entire cloud, which will take care of anything up to "Warrior" bugs.

Putting it on a Bug Breach can kill or at least consume like 90% of the HP of a spewer bug, until they have gotten out of the area.

If you combine the Orbital Gas Strike with the Orbital EMS strike you can even severely damage Chargers (they'll be gushing and spewing blood)

Orbital Gas Strike is not Termicide. It is a corrosive gas strike.

ive been using it, it's not half bad but don't expect instant results, it's a "slow burn" kind of approach, effective but it takes time.

GYAS!

I think it's bugged, it sometimes does zero dmg.

Funny. But you got a point. Gas could go for a minor DoT buff but not that much more. Because Its great at dealing with bug breaches, choke points and and has a very low cool down for an orbital.
